Forms and functions of jokes disseminated during the Covid-19 pandemic in Jordan
People in Jordan have suffered the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Jordanian government took some pre-emptive measures to curb the spread of the virus, including the announcement of indefinite curfew and nationwide strict lockdown.
